I really got pulled into reading the book right from the beginning, and then when I saw the movie advertised on Netflix, I had to watch it. The book upset me at first with the way the parents were so neglectful of their children but then I also saw that they really loved them and thought they were doing their best to teach them how to survive in this world. I think it did make them strong and they were definitely survivors, they endured so many things that children should never have to experience. I enjoyed the read, and especially knowing that it was someone's life story made it all the more gripping.
